Instructions to use pandoc as a custom processor with the Mac App Store version:

1. From https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest, obtain the portable version of pandoc, such as https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/2.2.1/pandoc-2.2.1-macOS.zip

2. Put the 2 binaries in /Applications/Marked 2.app/Contents/MacOS

3. Use /Applications/Marked 2.app/Contents/MacOS/pandoc as the path in Marked 2 settings.

4. Repeat when Marked 2 is updated, because most probably it will be overwritten.

I will turn this into an automated script later.

   I've found that the best way to do this is this one-liner:

   sudo ln "$(which pandoc)" '/Applications/Marked 2.app/Contents/MacOS'  
   <pre><code>
   This creates a hardlink of the pandoc in your PATH to the sandboxed directory that Marked has access to.
   
   After every update of Marked 2, just run this one liner again.</code>
   </pre>
